Ten Year Renewal Check List

Bloody Beast Ten Year Renewal Plan

This is an initial draft of a check list for my ten year renewal project. I would love to have feedback from others on the completeness of the list. Obviously, some of these items will have been tended to rather recently during routine maintenance and they will now just get a quick check. My car is low mileage since its total restoration nine-plus years ago. Consequently, numerous items will not involve the typical wear one might see for this period of time. Instead, the item might need attention for age rather than wear.

Thanks to those readers who have written suggesting items to add to my check list. I appreciate your review! I have updated the list and it is current as of October 3, 2018
